[tor-relays] rdsys was ignoring BridgeDistribution

[Fran]

Hey,

stuff like this happens meskio, thanks for the effort!

Slightly off topic:

I couldn't find my bridges in the files under

https://metrics.torproject.org/collector/recent/bridge-pool-assignments/

But they seem to work (although not getting much traffic):

Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 16 days 6:00 hours, with 39 circuits open. 
I've sent 31.25 GB and received 34.24 GB. I've received 9792 connections 
on IPv4 and 1095 on IPv6. I've made 54819 connections with IPv4 and 
16694 with IPv6.
While not bootstrapping, fetched this many bytes: 247726854 (server 
descriptor fetch); 22993 (server descriptor upload); 26840442 (consensus 
network-status fetch); 1784 (authority cert fetch); 2540630 
(microdescriptor fetch)


https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=<fp> returns:

Bridge <fp> advertises:

* obfs4: functional
   Last tested: 2022-03-04 16:28:39.248278403 +0000 UTC 
(1h26m57.466661568s ago)

Setting is "BridgeDistribution any"

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks,
fran
